Just learned this. Didn't realized it was that much.

Japan pays us $1.7B / year for protection.

The price of maintaining our international order. Obviously $1.7B doesn't begin to cover that. But they aren't really paying us for "protection."

Japan pays more than their fare share and kicks in extra in good times.

It's occupation, not protection.

Wasn't this the agreement after WW2?

Didn't the US increase the number of troops in Guam and Japan after leaving the Philippines?
